Brütal Legend

07_Headbanger

I swore off video games a little while back because I get too obsessed, and really I have a lot of things I want to do/draw/make/etc. But this new offering from Double Fine is not only epic-looking, but the artwork is stunning, hilarious, and so completely metal! I may have to rethink my policy for Brütal Legend, and I’m not even into metal.

The work of concept artists Peter Chan (previously (EDIT: see comments) ) and Scott Campbell (previously) (EDIT: plus Nathan Stapley (previously), Mark Hamer, Levi Ryken, and Razmig Mavlian) is featured in this epic post on BoingBoing. The “Headbanger” character depicted above can be seen realized in the game’s trailer starting at about 1:15.

Rock on, my friends.

    Your absolutely right Brutal legend is a work of art! Amazing concept art plugged trough-out the game also.
  • There are some very artful environments popping up in the video game industry. Borderlands is another; all the textures and objects look like an illustrator drew over them with a nib pen. The line weight also changes in relation to your distance.

    But yeah, Brutal Legend is a stunning sight and I've only tried the demo.

    I'm not sure you're talking about the same Peter Chan.
    The one working at Double Fine (a lucasart vet too) doesn't have a website, doesn't work on with a computer and ain't 29 :)

    I may be wrong if they both worked on the same game.
  • @InMyEyes: Hm, you may be correct... My apologies. I've edited the post.
